Abstract
Selfies have become the newest technological trend to take over the youth, due to the wide and easy availability of smartphones. American Psychiatric Association has declared taking selfie as a mental disorder, formally known as selfitis. It is an obsessive compulsive desire to take photos of self and post them on social media as a way to make up for the lack of self-esteem and to fill a gap in intimacy. Selfies are of two types: Individual and group. APA further defines severity of selfie disorder at three levels: borderline, acute and chronic levels. According to experts, taking selfie will not affect a person, unless he or she does addict to it. Since, causes of selfitis are having psychological basis, multi modal therapies like psychopharmacological and psychotherapies are used to treat it effectively.
